Know Before you Go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

  1. Dublin is small<\/strong>. To see most of the sites in the city, you won\u2019t need a car. It\u2019s more of a hindrance than a help to get around with your own transport<\/a>, so I suggest using the buses, trams (LUAS), and taxis. Taxis are not cheap but use them sparingly and you\u2019ll be fine. Dublin is the 5th most congested city<\/a> in Europe. On the other hand, Dublin is a great city for walking<\/a>. The weather might play a part in this though. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Dublin is famous for its rain. Ireland, in general, is rainy<\/strong>. This is thanks to Ireland's location as the first island at<\/g> the north of Europe to receive Atlantic storms and rain clouds. Expect to get wet. Bring a raincoat, an umbrella, and good shoes. Then you\u2019ll be fine. The rain never dampened Dubliners\u2019 spirits, so don\u2019t let it spoil your day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Dublin is expensive. Bring money. Lots of it. Then you'll be fine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Dublin is a young city: 50% of citizens are under the age of 25<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
